I have been bumbling around making a few improvised foot bridges for my Engineers to construct. The Airfix Pontoon Bridge is a bit of a gem, but really a little on the large size for strictly Infantry Units with CD3.
So I decided to make something that only the Infantry can use for improvised crossings.
Boats are from the Matchbox Commando kit and the Revell German Engineers. Ice cream sticks and matches were the order of the day as well as a good sample of PVA Glue. These can be joined together as a long structure or just as is for either Allied or Axis forces. Since they are in segments, each turn can be broken down into progress. I do not think the construction can get much more basic than that.
Model on!
Woah, really nice for a DIY project, it looks really good.
